Why am I the only person, not happy about this? Just what we need.... another HUGE organization, who come in, adopt Bitcoin to get them a new source of income.
They then take ALL those Bitcoins, and convert them to fiat to pay their bills. This drive the price of Bitcoin lower, due to a increased in dumped coins on the exchange and then that force the trolls and shills to come out of hiding. {They only come out, when the price is low... screaming "Bitcoin is DEAD"}
Bring the REAL Bitcoin merchants... like Overstock, who have it's best interest at heart and I will gladly SUPPORT them.
The advantage to McD's accepting Bitcoin, if they did, (they won't but if they did), would be the huge exposure for the consumer. Many people would see that you can pay with Bitcoin and get curious, and eventually get into the system. This is a missing link that we haven't got yet. This will also raise the Bitcoin price.
Companies accepting Bitcoin = price lowers
Individuals adopting Bitcoin = price rises
McD's will drive people to adopt.
